> The installer you download from the App Store is just a regular .app. Once it is finished downloading, quit the process that auto-launches (cmd-Q). The installer .app can then be copied (from the Applications folder) to wherever you want, to any number of macs (just drop it in the Applications folder on the destination mac), and used there, with no further downloading reuqired. I just upgraded three macs last night, and my backup HD now has the installer .apps for Lion, Moutain Lion and Mavericks on it, with only a single download.
However, the downloaded app has your Apple ID account data. So, don't
share with other people.
